KB "Panorama" has developed version 15.2.4 of the GIS "Panorama", which introduces a novel approach to crafting lifelike three-dimensional object models. The fundamental principle of KB "Panorama's" technology in terrain modeling involves dynamic construction based on a two-dimensional map using standard 3D object libraries. This enables the swift creation of volumetric models for any terrain. Now, there exists the capability to personalize these models further. Standard object models, such as buildings, come with conventional texturing. By generating bespoke realistic textures through the application of neural networks, these objects can be made distinctive and recognizable. Through neural networks, it is possible to create and transform new textures for 3D models based on standard textures or generate images from textual descriptions. This technology is utilized to produce high-quality images. Users can specify image parameters using text commands, select styles, and generate images based on existing ones, including blending and augmentation. Users can determine aspects like aspect ratio, style, quality, level of detail, and photorealism in a single request. Image creation services utilizing neural networks allow users to define image resolution, provide a "prompt" detailing what should be in the image, and a "negative prompt" outlining what should be avoided. Various modes enable users to adjust the neural network's impact on the image. Each request allows for the simultaneous generation of multiple image variations.

Textures created in this manner must be integrated into the map data set and individually linked via semantics like "Registered File Type Name" to specific objects. In a 3D object model, one must select a reference to this semantics if such a link does not already exist in the standard model. For a detailed understanding of this new approach, refer to the documentation titled "Applied Tasks. Building a 3D Model". The example dataset for Noginsk in the GIS "Panorama" installation has been enhanced using this approach. The new method of creating personalized 3D models with neural networks aids in routine tasks and sparks new ideas and concepts. The outcome of this work yields striking and intricately detailed images.

The latest version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

In KB "Panorama", the GIS "Panorama" version 15.2.2 has been developed for the operating systems "Astra Linux Special Edition", "Alt Linux", "RED OS", and Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04). The new version implements the task of creating object labels based on semantics, and adds the ability to export maps to DXF format files. The map editor modes have been enhanced to enable the rotation of vector and point objects. Additionally, the capability to create labels when importing data from KML files has been expanded, along with the inclusion of new geoportals.

The task of generating object labels based on semantics is designed for the automatic creation of labels for objects on vector maps. Labels are generated for selected objects, requiring the map on which label construction is performed to be editable. Point, linear, vector, and area objects are processed using flat rectangular coordinates in meters or kilometers, or geodetic coordinates in degrees. Heights are derived from the object's metric or interpolated. Settings allow for precision and formatting adjustments of labels, addition of prefixes and suffixes, alignment to object edges or center with vertical and horizontal offsets. Text rotation angle can be specified in degrees, either fixed or extracted from object data. Labels can be positioned relative to anchor points, along lines, at polygon centers, or following object curves. Label text is generated based on object characteristics or manually added, simplifying label creation for improved readability and accuracy.

The task of exporting maps to DXF format enables the conversion of GIS "Panorama" map data into AutoCAD files. The DXF file contains planar coordinates of objects in meters and height for 3D objects. Users can adjust coordinate precision and include semantics recorded in DBF files. To work with semantics, the operating system settings require a period as the decimal separator. Layer names in the DXF file can be assigned using various methods such as layer number, object key, and others. Object display modes include "Fill", "Outline", or "Scheme", with options for creating line styles. The active map name is automatically entered in the "Map Name" field, while the output file name can be manually modified. Graphic representation of objects is based on GIS "Panorama" symbolic signs, with the option to use D14 sign format files. Code files allow for changing layer names in the DXF file. Using filters, users can select whether to convert the entire map or specific objects. Conversion results are saved in a protocol text file and a layer number correspondence file.

Map editor modes have been enhanced to allow for object rotation within the map. The ability to rotate vector symbols with a single metric point has been added. For symbols localized as "Vector", a second point is added to the object. For symbols localized as "Point", rotation is achieved by adding semantics "Symbol Rotation Angle, Insertion" (code 31017). Rotation of vector symbols is available in modes such as Movement, Scaling, and Rotation (in the main editor panel); Object Rotation, Vector Object Rotation, Vector Object Tilt (in the "Edit Point" panel).

In the task of connecting geoportals, a new geoportal "Road Fund Control System" has been added, featuring a multitude of new layers such as "Roads", "Airports", "Maritime and River Ports", "Road Infrastructure and Diagnostics Data", "Hazardous Areas", and others. Additionally, new geoportals from Rosreestr, the National Spatial Data System, and the Federal Forestry Agency have been included, comprising layers of orthophoto plans, topographic maps, cadastral data, territorial zones, cultural heritage objects, and forest district boundaries.

GIS "Panorama" is a versatile domestic geoinformation system designed for the accumulation, storage, automated processing, and visualization of data, calculation results, and forecasts with geospatial referencing. The software includes tools for displaying and processing vector, raster, and matrix maps. The application provides users with instruments to address specialized tasks such as modeling the movement of special objects against a 3D model backdrop, predicting emergency situations' consequences at hazardous sites, monitoring aircraft movements, conducting geodetic and topographic surveys, processing data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing spatial data on various output devices, and more.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Senegal, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

In KB "Panorama", GIS WebServer SE version 6.20.0 has been developed for Astra Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, and MS Windows operating systems. The new version includes enhancements to data editing and viewing tools. For authorized users, the storage of map states and components on the server has been implemented.

In the map editor, object creation mode now includes geometry import from MIF/MID, SHP, DXF, and GeoJSON files. To correctly add an object, the file must specify the source projection.

A document viewing component has been added, allowing the opening of images (png, bmp, jpeg), video files (supported browser formats such as 3gp, mov, mp4, mpeg, qt, webm), and BIM models (ifc). The source can be either a map object with attached data or files from the user's device. When viewing BIM models, characteristics of selected elements are displayed.

A user bookmarks component has been implemented, enabling users to save map states and share them with others. The "Map Composition" component now displays the map legend in tree mode. Map publishing has been enhanced to allow users to use their own graphic styles instead of a classifier.

The "Map Legends" component now includes a list display mode for all maps and the ability to view legends in tree form. In the "Relief Profile" component, interaction between the chart and map has been expanded. Labels added on the map also appear on the chart and vice versa. Users can now edit the profile line on the map. Interface settings now include an option for compact component view.

GIS WebServer SE is used in building closed corporate systems to secure data with confidentiality or commercial secrets. GIS WebServer SE is implemented using the GIS WebToolKit SE toolkit, which can be applied in development tools using JavaScript and TypeScript.

Based on GIS WebServer SE and other server products of KB "Panorama", the Regional GIS of the Ryazan Region (RGIS RO) has been implemented. RGIS RO is a specialized multifunctional geoportal, the interactive capabilities of which provide access to reliable information about objects of various categories. RGIS RO is available to a wide range of users - government authorities, citizens, organizations, including potential investors and private companies. The Regional GIS of the Ryazan Region helps in decision-making in various areas of socio-economic development.

The new version of the software is available on the website in the Download section.

From June 18 to 20 in Khanty-Mansiysk the XV International IT Forum took place with the participation of BRICS and SCO countries. The event was organized by the government of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra with the support of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Urals Federal District, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.

Experts from KB "Panorama" participated in the panel discussion "Spatial Data: A New Digital Reality" with a presentation on "Enhancing the Efficiency of Spatial Data Utilization". The presentation covered modern approaches to implementing technological processes for creating, storing, processing, and analyzing spatial data. It highlighted the significant volume of spatial data accumulated in various information systems by now and emphasized the need for deeper integration mechanisms among these systems and the utilization of data created for all participants in such inter-system interactions.

By deeply integrating spatial data platform solutions, some tasks related to enhancing their functionality can be addressed through GIS tools under market conditions. To achieve this, developers need quality documentation on API and SDK systems, access to a test environment for debugging new features and services is essential.

Expanding information interaction capabilities must consider security issues. Any software, including open-source software, should ensure secure operation and stable performance. During information exchange, there should be no possibility of issuing commands to block software operation or engage in undeclared data copying. A complete transition to security-certified software without undisclosed functionalities is necessary.

This year marked the jubilee XV International IT Forum, which brought together over 5,000 participants from 47 countries and 61 regions of the Russian Federation. Throughout the forum, specialists discussed the application of cutting-edge technologies in economics, social spheres, education, artificial intelligence development, and other crucial tasks.
